UWT opens hearts to annual Giving Tree
By Dava McCoy
Yes, Christmas is already upon us. Through Dec. 15, the University of Washington, Tacoma will be joining with the Lakewood YMCA to provide toys for children under the care of the Puyallup Tribe Children's Services.
During all of the holiday bustle, Bronwyn Pughe, instmctional consult¬ ant «t UWT's Teaching and Leaming Center, hopes to encourage people to participate with spirit by giving to those in need. For the third consecutive year, the trio has come together to provide the fun part of Christmas: toys." Some¬ times it only takes a little to create a lot of joy," Pughe said.
This year, there are at least 95 chil¬ dren with wish lists, a rising number from years past. Pughe worked at Medicine Creek tribal College for 6 years and had worked numerous hours as a volunteer at the Lakewood YMCA.
Pughe's connection with both places gave her the ability to bring the idea ofa giving tree to UWT.

Tacoma Rescue Mission move marks end of era
By Mary Roeder
As Tacoma races toward its future, remnants of the past disappear.
The city's new $47.3 million dollar multistory convention center will be located on the south side of the Sheraton Hotel. Many people, long estab¬ lished businesses and one special charity now oc¬ cupy the site and all of them must move.
For 88 years, The Tacoma Rescue Mission at 702 Pacific Ave. has served as an indispensable lifeline to Tacoma's poor and homeless. Constmc¬ tion has begun on a new Mission facility. The 37,500 square foot New Life Square is being built at 425 South Tacoma Way. "That is where the old King's Drive Inn used to be on South Tacoma Way, just off Pacific," said Mike Lonergan the Mission's execu¬ tive director. "It should be completed by June 2001. It will have a lighthouse out front so everyone, es¬ pecially the homeless, will be able to find it."
"The Mission is not the only long-time resi¬ dent being uprooted by the convention center project," Lonergan said.
Westem Wright Marine, a business that makes and repairs boat propellers, was located at 15"* and Commerce. "My Great Grandfather Sproule built our old building in the 1900's," said Charlie Wright. "In the I940's my father added metal machining tools and we were doing props by the mid 1950's."
"Our business had grown into every nook and cranny of our building," said Wright. "The city was most generous about helping us relocate." And then he added with a laugh, "I think they were a little surprised by just how much stuff we had to move."
Westem Wright acquired a I960's vintage building and an adjoining metal building at 2601 East F St., near the Tacoma Dome. They totally gutted and refurbished both buildings and along with their new surroundings they adopted a new name, Tacoma Propeller. "It is so much better," said Wright. "It's a little sad to move but the street was getting so bad; the derelicts were bad for business."
Smith Westem, a company that manufactures postcards is also moving. Smith Western's new location will be near Bates Vocational School on South 80th. Pat Smith, daughter ofthe founder ofthe company, is philosophical about the move. "We've been here for 45 years," said Smith. "Over all the city will benefit from the new con¬ vention center and as a result we will benefit."
For one business relocation will be more dif¬ ficult. Bimbo's Italian Restaurant at 1516 Pacific Ave. opened its doors 80 years ago. That was just after World War I in 1921 the year Grover Cleveland became president. "We are not sure where we are going yet," said Bimbo's manager, Jerry Rosi. We might have a place in the new convention center but that's three years down the road. Right now we want people to know we are still open. We have to move in June when the Rescue Mission does."
The convention center project will spare the historic Luzon building located at the comer of n"" and Pacific, according to Lonergan. It was nicknamed the Golden Chopsticks after its last tenant. Architects consider the Luzon building, which was in buih inl901, a wonder of modem architecture.

UWT celebrates 10*^ anniversary all year
By Joan Cronk
Have you ever heard of an anniversary celebration lasting one entire year? UWT's IO"" an¬ niversary celebration began last June with commencement where two of the four original gradu¬ ates were featured. The celebra¬ tion will continue throughout this 2000-2001 school year. Many of the activities have already taken place, but there are lots of events planned for the future as well.
UWT had a modest begin¬ ning, starting out in the Perkins Building in 1990 with just 176 stu¬ dents enrolled and four graduat¬ ing that first June. In June 2000, 540 students graduated and more than 1500 students attended UWT. The future of UWT in¬ cludes plans to expand the cam¬ pus to 46 acres.
Dr. Bill Richardson, Director of IAS, and Mike Hamiss ofthe Education Department are co- chairmen for the 10-year celebra¬ tion. Richardson said, "Our in¬ tent was, rather than having one sort of event where we remi¬ nisced about ten years on cam¬ pus, to integrate 10"" anniversary activities into a whole range of things."
Last July UWT hosted EdFest, a family festival and open house that included tours, science demonstrations, music and lots of fim for kids and adults alike. This event attracted sev¬ eral hundred people and Mike Wark, Public Relations and Com¬ munications Officer for UWT, said this was the first public event to celebrate UWT's anni¬ versary. He was pleased it had attracted so many to see the uni¬ versity campus.
The celebration continued Nov. 18 with the Apple Cup when the Dawg Shed was tumed into a football-viewing stadium and filled with UWT smdents, faculty and staff to watch the game be¬ tween Washington State and University of Washington. Stu¬ dents are planning their annual winter ball for January. Chancel¬ lor Vicky Carwein's annual ad¬ dress included recognition of staff and faculty who had been
on board since UWT opened its doors.
Wark says that a Gala, planned for May 12, will be a big campus event. Plans are under¬ way for the campus to be tumed into a festive occasion with ven¬ ues of music and food. Wark said there will be three areas and each will have a different theme. At¬ tendees may dress in a theme mode, or dress in black tie. He said that the Gala is a fundraiser as well as a reason to celebrate and will also be a part ofthe IO"" anniversary celebration.
Richardson said the goal of the year long celebration was to remind people of where UWT has come from and to inspire people about the future of the campus and added, "A lot of people think UWT is only three years old. Before we moved to this location we existed for seven years and we want to remind people of that and our aspira¬ tions for the future."
UWT is still in its infancy. Al¬ though campus planners don't have plans to build dorms, Richardson said there was some hope that private enterprise may eventually build condos or apart¬ ments in the area to house fac¬ ulty, staff and students who would like to live closer to cam¬ pus. Parking—always an issue— is also on the agenda, as it is be¬ coming increasingly difficult for businesses to find parking for their patrons, as well as UWT students.
To advertise the 10"" anniver¬ sary celebrations the committee has produced special posters. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to watch for and par¬ ticipate in all ofthe anniversary events.
Wark said that there would also be lectures on and off cam¬ pus to promote the celebration.
Alum Lynn Reiten, who is part of the anniversary committee, summed it up by saying, "I would strongly encourage all students, staff and faculty to be very involved in the celebration and related events. Not many get the opportunities to be so deeply involved as those on small, changing campuses."
